Astrology of the Week Ahead with Chani Nicholas

Episode 140

In this podcast, New York Times bestselling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all.

The astrology of the week of August 21st, 2023, is here to clean up our act. On Wednesday, the Sun enters Virgo, encouraging us to get our systems in order. Later that same day, Mercury (the planet of communication) stations retrograde, ushering in a time of recalibration — and potentially some misfires. On Thursday, Mars (the planet of action) trines Pluto (the planet of transformation), giving us the motivation to dive deep into an issue and return with buried treasure. On Sunday, the Sun makes an opposition to Saturn (the planet of restriction), presenting us with an obstacle, reality check, or course correction. Also on Sunday, Mars moves into Libra, heating up the part of your chart that contains the sign of the scales. But the main signature of this week is Mercury retrograde. So back up your technology. Triple-check everything. And be extra compassionate with yourself and others.

In this podcast, New York Times bestselling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all.

The astrology of the week of August 14th, 2023, is kind of a wild card. On Tuesday, the Sun squares Uranus (the planet of rebellion), highlighting disruptive, unprecedented events. On Wednesday, there’s a New Moon in Leo, which encourages us to use our most creative ideas in any issue we’re up against. The New Moon is also occurring near Black Moon Lilith (a point in space related to the Goddess who refused subjugation), urging us to speak out against injustice. So be bold. Be loud. And bring your fullest self-expression wherever you go.

In this podcast, New York Times bestselling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all.

The astrology of the week of August 28th, 2023, has one big ticket item — the Full Moon in Pisces. On Monday, Uranus (the planet of upheaval) stations retrograde, stirring up the status quo and helping us break free of what’s confining. On Wednesday, there’s a Full Moon in Pisces, shedding light on the area of your chart that contains Pisces. Since this lunation is conjunct Saturn (the planet of restriction), it also highlights the structures in our lives and asks us to commit to something. On Sunday, Venus (the planet of love) stations direct, pulling focus to what we’ve been learning about our relationships. We’ll discuss that more in our next episode, but for now, lean in and enjoy.
